Objectives:
1.) Kinetic Physics:
Ion and electron velocity distribution functions
Wave-particle resonant interactions and energy exchange between plasma and fields
Energy partition among different species and non-thermal distributions
Thermodynamic regulation by kinetic instabilities and collisions
Radial evolution of plasma energetics and heat flux
Kinetic processes related to heavy ions
2.) Turbulence and Waves:
Energy injection scales of turbulence and their connection to coronal structures
Scale of transition to the turbulent cascade and inertial range physics
Ion transition, kinetic range, electron scales and dissipation processes
Energy injection, transfer and dissipation rates
|Anisotropy, compressibility and intermittency from injection to dissipation scales
Instabilities and waves around plasma characteristic frequencies and scales
3.) Reconnection and Small-scale Structure:
Reconnection structure and exhausts associated both with CMEs and HCS, and small-scale current sheets
Small-scale structures: flux ropes/plasmoids, holes and diamagnetic
Cavities, solitons
Switchbacks
Structure related to waves, instabilities and wave-particle interactions
